Affiliate organization
Affiliate Organizations are companies or corporations which exist outside of the USA for the purpose of simplfying membership and participation in the SCA for people who do not live in the United States of America. Typically they are responsible for modern concerns such as membership, insurance, and the like, but are subordinate to the BOD and Corpora for all matters which pertain to the internal structure and re-enactment. This explicitly includes restrictions on some awards and armour standards and combat conventions. The intent is to allow anyone active in the SCA anywhere in the world to participate anywhere else in the world with a minimum of disruption.
As of 2017 there are at least four affiliates, two each in the Kingdoms of Lochac and Drachenwald.
